THE HORSE-LOVER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA, 2nd Edition, AN A-Z GUIDE TO ALL THINGS EQUINE

Originally published as STOREY'S HORSE-LOVER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA in 2000, the new edition is illustrated with full-color photographs by noted equine photographers Bob Langrish and Dusty Perin. It covers English, Western, driving and draft, equine care and management, tack, behavior, recent medical advances, and emerging disciplines and fields.

To keep up with the changes and retain the constants, the new ENCYCLOPEDIA received a design makeover. It features over 1,700 entries, including more than 90 breed profiles. There is an increased emphasis on driving and draft horses, and updates based on new scientific research. Bran mashes? No longer recommended. Sheath cleaning? More controversial than you may have realized. And horses may not enjoy that congratulatory slap on the neck, according to research conducted at the London Olympics. What remains constant? Horse vital signs, the eternal rhythms of spring shedding and foaling, the benefits of turnout and a forage-based diet.
